>In any case, do you get any credit for calling out the fiasco that turned out to be Iraq? Of course not, because from day one you hated Bush and Cheney and everything they stood for. Of course he does. He gets credit and I don't. >Same thing with the Republicans calling out the ObamaCare fiasco. From day one, almost all of them hated Obama and everything he stood for. If, five years from now, health care rates really do triple, or millions of Americans do lose their coverage, or the entire country falls apart -- and, this is important -- not due to any deliberate sabotage on the part of the Republicans -- I will give you and every Republican here and on the political scene that said those things would happen due to the ACA -- a ton of credit. But for the website to not work that well in the first three weeks of the program after getting ten times as much traffic as expected? No. I did not see one Republican predict that, nor is it important at all in the grand scheme of things. It's a problem, you fix it. Republicans haven't one iota of interest in fixing it. If I were to have gone into last night's World Series game predicting that the Red Sox would win the series, and you, as a Cardinals fan sitting next to me at the bar, started screaming and pointing and hollering for the next ten minutes when Jacoby Ellsbury led off the bottom of the 1st inning for the Red Sox with a walk and not a home run -- "SEE??? SEE???? I TOLD YOU!!!! RED SOX SUCK!!! RED SOX SUCK!!! CARDINALS ARE GOING TO SWEEP!!!!" Well, you'd look pretty dumb this morning. Boy, I don't even LIKE baseball... but it works so well as a metaphor. -Z
